Thanks.

This is really great. I am a cub scout leader as well as a childminder (for my sins) and this will be good for that as well.

We are taking 30 cubs to the Chinese restaurant on Wednesday 28th Jan. Wish us luck!

Good Luck at restaurant 2 kids and a hubby is more than enough for me.
But you do find children are better behaved for others than their parents. Have a fab time and dont forget your camera xxxx

Can I just ask do you all include St Patrick, David. George and Andrew Days in your planning? I feel strongly about these, our village school have not mentioned these in their planning:angry: I fully agree the children need to learn about other cultures, but what about British Culture too :thumbsup:

I have just been on a diversity course and it was brought up there that we are so caught up with other cultures and festivals that we are losing our own. The lady running the course was Sikh and she said we should embrace our own beliefs.

As a result, all of us who attended have decided to include our own culture and festivals in our planning so - good old St Patrick, St David, St George and St Andrew and hello to our own special days - pancake day, lent, Passion Sunday, Easter - the list goes on. Lots of opportunity for learning - maps, flowers, emblems, flags.

I know I am going on but one pre-school I know of was not allowed to call Christmas "Christmas" and had to call it The Holidays so they didn't upset children who were not Christian. Well, I'm sorry but . . .

Absolutely right!

Sounds like you had a trainer who knows what she is talking about.

At my local children's centre when it was new, they forgot to order any white dolls, they were so concerned about getting a racial mix. :eek:

Thank you for reminding everyone :D

there is one on the ****** website. you have to scroll through month by month but it has loads on it.

Also activity village has one, again month by mnth, but it has activity ideas and background info on the festivals etc I have found quite useful for my long term planning :)

Take a look at this one

BBC - Religion: Interfaith holy days by date (http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/tools/calendar/date.shtml?month=&year=2013)

Think I will start a new thread for this
